Don't Cry Italy
Italy is the fourth industrial power of the world, is the center of design and fashion, has the highest art per capita in the world, has the best football league, makes the cars that everybody wants to drive, has one of the highest standards of living. No amount of cheating will take any of these things from them. Italy will go again to the World Cup, they will win it again. Korea won't, this is the only way they could reach this far.
But don't cry for Korea either, they are also an industrial country and are having a good time now. Doesn't matter to them how they got there, doesn't matter they'll never make it again. World Cups are full of one time wonders.
Cry instead for Venezuela, a poor, sad country that rejoiced in Korea's triumph ignoring, because they are stupid as hell, how much of this country was built by Italian immigrants. The little industry we have was built by them (together with the spaniards, the portuguese, the jews, the libanese, and others), but we cheered against them, because we cheer against ourselves.
Venezuelans deserves everything that is happening to them, and more. Because ingratitude and stupidity are bigger crimes than cheating for money...
